That could backfire when interacting with some forum, blog, CMS, and cart URLs due to design problems on the site. In vbulletin for example: http://www.someforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47337 might point to the next thread, with a URL like: http://www.someforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47337&goto=nextnewest The actual (canonical) thread number of THAT thread is unspecified, unfindable, and changes every time either this or that thread is bumped with a new post. If the goto=nextnewest part is not specified in the SERPs, visitors will actually be sent to the wrong thread, as the "next" thread is not 47337 but some other number.

Very smart of Yahoo! I was wondering when one of these search engines would start catering to webmasters, after all it is webmasters who control most of the content out there...make them like yahoo...build buzzz...build market share...profit. Treating the webmaster with some extremely outdated statistics in webmasters tools isn’t going to compare if Yahoo! get’s smart, then again we haven’t seen a lot of evidence of that either. The veil of secrecy and treating all webmasters as evil criminal spammers by default is not a good long-term plan, hopefully yahoo will step up to the plate and move into this gaping hole of an opportunity Google has left open.
